Desk Top, running Office 2003 and backup

[steere]

Could anyone tell me why sometimes when my laptop goes to sleep it comes back with a low screen resolution that messes up my everything. How do I stop it doing this?

Also I am running Office 2003. I uninstalled 2007 trial version which is both expensive and not compatable with 2003 which everyone I know uses. It is a legal version and it does work but I always get a message saying "Office application version does not match" which makes it look as if it has not started. Does anyone know how to get rid of this?

When I try to back up the machine to new DVDs it always comes up with the message that the disk is scratched chuck it away. How can I oivercome this problem?

Can I back up over my LAN to the hard disc on another computer?

I have to say that I got this computer following an insurance claim therefore I get no back up from the supplier Empire. It is the most difficult computer to use that I have had since the bad days of the early 1990s. A combination of Sony Vista and Empire is just so bad. I would discourage anyone using any of them.
